Exhibitions
Angelica Leight took part in the group exhibition, crosseXions at Metro Arts, Brisbane, Queensland, May 2016. For the exhibition, she offered a sampling of "healing products" to promote "Activated Re-Balancing™" such as the pink Gaia Earth trowel™, Sacred Gaia Healing™ water activated by Roze Quartz Technology (patent application posted), bumper stickers, and a range of DVDs.
The activities of Angelica Leight (together with Sacred Gaia Healing's™ marketing manager Runceley Chaser) have been represented (in the "List of Works" catalogue for crosseXions) as “materialist, unethical grasping of the new-age dollar, conducted via techno-cottage industry and kitschy-value-add-on of low-value Chinese products via mail-order”.
Despite the inclusion of Angelica Leight and controversy surrounding her work, the curator of crosseXions, Beth Jackson, described the exhibition as drawing "together the work of 12 early-career, Brisbane-based women and transgender artists who are inscribing feminist and environmental concerns within their art practice. This project rejects the cadaverous relationships of patriarchy and capitalism which continue to represent the world as known and conquered, and the gallery as a mausoleum for dead objects. crosseXions deploys the gallery as an incubator for living, ongoing and entangled representations of a world and a subject in active flux - involved and evolving, infected and connected, organic and alive. Developing new works by these artists, crosseXions invests in process, in bodily performance, collaborations and social engagements as renewable energies for environmental understanding."
